@@RossaRoniVan Being mostly an instrumentalist, I haven’t focused on lyrical songwriting after a certain Michael Hedges passed away. José reminded me of him, with the depth of certain ‘70s-era lyricists. Thank you. I shall seek him out.
I discovered the song 'El Invento' two days ago and it has been on a quiet, calming loop in my head ever since. Not sure why I just woke up in the middle of the night, but this song immediately started playing in my head. And in listening to various live versions of it, I found KEXP Home! I wasn't aware of the 'Home' versions. Thank you to all the awesome people who help make them happen. Long live KEXP y que viva la música siempre. Saludos desde Canadá.
Estoy trabajando y escuchando a José Gonzáles desde muy lejos..... Bolivia. Gracias por tu música. Working and hearing José Gonzáles from far away.... Bolivia, Thank you for your lovely music!
An expressive and impressive journey, performed with marvelous sound engineering, Kalle Gustafsson Jerneholm at Svenska Grammofonstudion! Thank you José González and KEXP!
José, te queremos en Argentina!!! hace años que no puedo dejar de fantasear con que vuelvas a Mendoza. Sigo cruzando los dedos por que llegue esa gira por latinoamerica y que pases por acá, seguí tus raices menducas y veni a tomarte unos mates con nosotros!!
Since “the secret life of walter mitty” was announced in stores, i followed and will do it, jeá, for ever Jose 🔮 😉 . You got so many rythm’s in your music ! - Really ! 🙌
Wow what a "Pleasent Surprise" @ 4:17am on a Tuesday🌃. I get out of a long hot 🧂🛁 make a 🫖 of tea & find this delightful fellow José & his 🎶 in my recommendations. Nice one TH-cam & KEXP...I toast my ☕ to this new musical discovery this September morning...."prima🙂"
I keep returning to this performance, and especially por El Invento, and I think it has to be the fact that it feels so authentically rooted in his... inspirations and upbringing? I forget where he spoke on it, but he mentioned that he grew up listening to artists like Mercedes Sosa and Silvio Rodriguez, and in El Invento, you can absolutely feel the inspiration bleeding into the guitar, from how he plays it to the lyrics that bounce off. It's been something so admirable and amazing to hear, especially as a latino who got into his music looooong ago when he had Far Away in Red Dead. Sigo volviendo a esta actuación, y especialmente por El Invento, y creo que tiene que ser el hecho de que se siente tan auténticamente basada en sus... ¿inspiraciones y educación? No recuerdo dónde habló al respecto, pero mencionó que creció escuchando a artistas como Mercedes Sosa y Silvio Rodríguez, y en El Invento, puedes sentir absolutamente la inspiración sangrando en la guitarra, desde cómo la toca hasta la letra que rebotar. Ha sido algo tan admirable y sorprendente de escuchar, especialmente como un latino que se metió en su música hace mucho tiempo cuando tuvo Far Away en Red Dead.
Específicamente, e irónicamente más generalizado: español, no castellano; es preferible reservar la palabra castellano para el dialecto específico en España, región geográfica que igualmente necesita diferenciar entre catalán, gallego o vasco por ejemplo.
I love almost everything about it. I love the sweet happy positivity but when he said "forget your miracles" and "forget your god" it just twinged it with bitterness.
He has definitely been at least studying Buddhism and is probably practicing it. The terminology is straight from Buddhist texts (sentient beings). The El Invento video is obviously meditation influenced too with some Eugenio Montejo references (great Venezuelan poet).
I do value the interviewer and interview. It's just I've been mesmerized by that first song, and so the time marker gives me an easy starting point as I fumble with my own guitar.
Americans, PLEASE learn to pronounce a common name like José or Juan. NO, it is NOT 'hosay' and 'one'! LISTEN on Forvo. Not learning ANY foreign language does not exempt you from respecting PEOPLE. Right on, absolutely. Right on, hosay.
It worries me that you let small things effect you so much. We all know who he's talking about and we all like the music. Let's just be happy with that. Everyone has room for growth. It's going to be ok ; )
i agree with the third line of your strange poem "Not learning ANY foreign language does not exempt you from respecting PEOPLE." (were you trying to make a Haiku?). But the reality on the ground in America is different. many of us have spanish speaking friends, partners, suegros, coworkers, bosses, mentors etc. and while your overall sentiment is correct, it would be super awkward to correctly annunciate everyone's name every single time. same for our Indian and Chinese friends etc. it would sound like inappropriate over-pronunciation here. like you're trying too hard. i guess you just have to be here
Sufjan Stevens, José Gonzalez and Nick Drake are the best things that happened in my life.
Oh my gosh I love them too.

Obrigado!
Finally! A genuine songsmith and performer reminiscent of the times when music was ART, not business. May you live long and succeed. Am a fan now.
He's been making amazing music for 20 years. If you haven't already please check out his early material.

We just saw him live last night and it was amazing! Such an incredible experience. Beautiful music!
That’s great to hear Jack. Did he play cycling trivialities? I love that song. Killing for love is awesome too

Wow what a "Pleasent Surprise" @ 4:17am on a Tuesday🌃.
I get out of a long hot 🧂🛁 make a 🫖 of tea & find this delightful fellow José & his 🎶 in my recommendations.
Nice one TH-cam & KEXP...I toast my ☕ to this new musical discovery this September morning...."prima🙂"
This is humbly mastering your craft- I just love him and his work. :) ✊🏽🎶
José has such distinct style of strumming the guitar.
As distinguishable as his angelic voice.
I love Jose. He has an amazing spirit that comes out both in his music and when he speaks.
Although I love the album however I do love this live acoustic version more.
Thank you for this José and KEXP, I really needed that

Zé, o Brasil te ama!
he's the loveliest!
Great to see José here. Loving Local Valley. Thank you 🙏🏼
Te amo Jose ❤
Amazing to see him on KEXP again!
Gracias José González por tu arte. Esperamos e. Buenos Aires 🇦🇷
Great guy
que lindo escucharlo cantar en castellano

@@IsuiGtz mejor castellano.
RIGHT ON!
Love you Man!!! And one request to KEXP, please invite to your studio „Matt Corby”, thank you!
Biutiful voices and guitar
Pure magic
His peaceful mind is contagious.
Timeless
Wonderful
Nice to see Jose back !
EL próximo disco todo en español José!!! dejáte de pavadas
Great message and chord progression !
Amazing creativity from José !
Awesome, right on Jose!
This sounds great! Such a pure sound, delivering the good vibes I need to make it through this work day. Thank you!
This is sweeeeet 😊
Maravilha!
Grande José! Obrigado KEXP!
I would like to see him play Far Away, with that song I met him and he marked me
right on
buenisimo!!
❤
He’s just wonderful!
Great session, thanks for that!
I love almost everything about it. I love the sweet happy positivity but when he said "forget your miracles" and "forget your god" it just twinged it with bitterness.
his junip stuff rules
I'm so thankful for Walter Mitty for introducing me to Junip, through which I eventually found Jose's music. It's one of my favourite movies too.
❤️
I loved this guy's From the Basement performance, it's nice to see he's getting appreciation here too.
i mean he's an international star of 15+ years so of course he's going to get media coverage.....dude has 4M monthly listeners on spotify alone
I met jose in basement series, last year.
Truely, a genius
Interesante y muy melodico.
Such a great session....gracias Jose!
빨리빨리~~
Wow does he capture that Nick Drake feel.
Absolutely!!
A hint of Robbie Basho in there too
Why do I suddenly have an urge to buy some desert boots
Nice, Invento. Melodic.
Should do more Spanish.
In El Invento he sounds a little bit like Silvio Rodríguez🙌🙌🙌
Definitly
So much! He does in many of his older songs as well, even in English. :) Qué hermosura.
I love it, right on! 🤡
Swing: I call this, progresive Folk. Wow
Is José, a buddhist? The choice of words in his lyrics gives me an inkling of that.
If I’m not wrong he’s an atheist actually
He has definitely been at least studying Buddhism and is probably practicing it. The terminology is straight from Buddhist texts (sentient beings). The El Invento video is obviously meditation influenced too with some Eugenio Montejo references (great Venezuelan poet).
yeah he is an atheist

Anybody know the musician Manuel Garcia from Chile?
Less talk. More music.
Wait, both moms?
I'd loved to hear the red dead redemption song he made
gorgeous song
fishsongs?
El Invento gives me some Slivio Rodriguez vibes
he has said that trovadores are big deal on his influences
I swear that first song was 20 minutes long.
How convenient to know that JG has been double jabbed! Now we can all enjoy our newly acquired freedom now don't we?!?

I listened on Forvo, as you demanded, and it is indeed "hosay." Maybe you should give it a try?
i agree with the third line of your strange poem "Not learning ANY foreign language does not exempt you from respecting PEOPLE." (were you trying to make a Haiku?).

Try having some people from Sri Lanka or Qatar pronounce your name.
